Book Review: Useful for first-time visitors
Summary: 2 Stars
I found this site guide to be worth having along on my first birding trip to Costa Rica. The sites are well-chosen for diversity of species likely to be seen and the checklist showing relative abundance of species at the top birding sites is very helpful in eliminating similar species during the identification process.Rather than the long lists of some possible birds to be seen at each site, I'd have preferred to see some more specific information about locating each site's more important species, a la the Lane birding guides. I felt entirely too much space was devoted to these lists which largely duplicated the info from the checklist.
